Blindness

In the Bible God has given us direction, commands, both with promises and then without, He has given us truths to walk in and then just wisdom to follow. All of which is right at our disposal, we just have to want to know the truth, because Jesus is the way, the truth and the life, we must seek Him first. Matthew 6:33-34 "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its "

I believe the enemy has come to blind us from the truth and it is easy to think that everything is fine, that no bad can happen to us. We need to be aware of what the enemy is doing, I think we need to ask God to remove the veil that blocks our vision of the truth of the enemy, for the enemy comes to rob, steal and destroy John 10:10, he is blinding us in our own homes, he is stealing our joy, our peace and we don't see it, because we are blind. We need to ask God to give us a heart to serve Him and then we must walk in it, not just ask but to follow through with it.

It is high time that we stand for what we believe and not just let others do it for us, because I believe that not walking in the truth is a tool of the enemy. The devil wants us to believe that we have no choices, that the way we are is the way we will be for the rest of our lives, but the truth is when we walk in Jesus and put Him first in all we do, we stop making each day about what I want and start making it about what He wants, it changes everything when we start putting Him first, when we die to ourselves. It isn't to late to change, it isn't to late to make a choice, but it is a moment by moment choice, not just a one time thing.

Spiritual blindness is caused by letting self rule over what the Holy Spirit wants, it is allowing sin to stand in the way of God, it is excepting the ways of the world and the truth, instead of allow Jesus the Son of God to be the number one ruler in our lives. It is living in a spirit of change, instead of a negative spirit of I can't change. God wants us to change, He has given us the tools, will we walk in it?

2 Timothy 3:1-9 "But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. 2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, 4 treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.  6 For among them are those who creep into households and capture weak women, burdened with sins and led astray by various passions, 7 always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth. 8 Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men corrupted in mind and disqualified regarding the faith. 9 But they will not get very far, for their folly will be plain to all, as was that of those two men."

Jude 1:18-19 "They said to you, “In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires.” 19 These are the people who divide you, who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the Spirit."

I believe that the Bible has guidelines, truths, ways to live and when we follow it, it changes everything, when we oppose it, we oppose God. He has shown us the truth and when we walk in the truth, the truth will set us free, but we need to walk in it daily, moment by moment. It comes down to what we want to put first, self or God. Are we blinded from the truth, today pray that God will open your eyes, see what He has for you, instead of what you want or what the demands of your day.
